Objective: The effect of sodium intake on atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL), with respect to sex and age, has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to compare long-term trends in AF/AFL death and disability due to high sodium intake in China from 1990 to 2019.
Methods: We utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease study to assess the mortality and disability burden of AF/AFL attributable to high sodium intake (> 5 g/d) in China from 1990 to 2019. Overtime trends and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were analyzed with adjustments for age, sex, period, and cohorts.
Results: In 2019, the number of AF/AFL deaths and disability-adjusted life years attributable to high sodium intake were 4209.944 (95% UI: [1250.690-8718.238]) and 235484.586 (95% UI: [89136.783-428566.694]), with males comprising 44.81% and 51.95% of cases, respectively. The age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) and age-standardized disability rates (ASDRs) of AF/AFL attributable to high sodium intake exhibited downward trends from 1990 to 2019 in China. The AAPC was - 0.221(95% CI: -0.321-0.121)and - 0.631(95% CI: -0.816-0.446) for AF/AFL, respectively. An upward trend was observed in ASMRs for AF and AFL, attributable to high sodium intake due to high salt intake at ages 30-34, 35-39, and 40-44. With an increase in age, the AAPC for ASMRs increased correspondingly, and the AAPC for ASDRs exhibited a decreasing trend.
Conclusions: Our findings provide strong evidence that high sodium levels in China significantly affect standard ASMRs and ASDRs for AF and AFL. Notably, different patterns of change are identified across various age groups, emphasizing the pronounced effect of salt reduction on AF and AFL.

Lead-free electroceramics have attracted significant research interest as alternatives to lead-containing systems due to concerns related to lead's toxicity to human health and the environment. Solid solutions based on bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) and barium titanate (BT), particularly those with compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), such as 0.94 BiNaTiO-0.

Objective: to compare the effect of salt consumption on blood pressure (BP) of an indigenous and of a non-indigenous population in Brazil.
Design: the studies were carried out in the years of 1999-2004 in an urban population of Vitória (n = 1,663), the capital of Espírito Santo State, and in an indigenous population settled in a reserve of Aracruz (n = 663). Salt consumption was evaluated by a 12-hour overnight urine collect.

We describe an apparatus that efficiently produces 23Na Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a hybrid trap that combines a quadrupole magnetic field with a far-detuned optical dipole trap. Using a Bayesian optimization framework, we systematically optimize all BEC production parameters in modest-sized batches of highly correlated parameters. Furthermore, we introduce a Lagrange multiplier-based technique to optimize the duration of different evaporation stages constrained to have a fixed total duration; this enables the progressive creation of increasingly rapid experimental sequences that still generate high-quality BECs.

Time-resolved data acquisition is crucial for compositional analysis using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). It can be managed by adjusting the delay time and gate width of the spectrometer. This study describes the compositional analysis of molybdenum (Mo) ore utilizing charge coupled device (CCD) and intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) based LIBS systems.

Background: Sterile pyuria is a common manifestation of Kawasaki disease (KD). We investigated the characteristics of KD patients with sterile pyuria.
Methods: This retrospective study included 345 KD patients who had not received antimicrobial therapy before the diagnosis.
